Java IDE's

In netBeans IDE it is posible to edit/create gui forms with out having any knoledge about layout managers. Does that mean that programmers need not improve and learn much about swing gui components and layout managers here after?.........If that is the case whats to be done when creating an applet?

To some extent, I guess. I mean, if you use NullLayout, then you don't need to worry about layouts at all. But learning the layout managers isn't too bad.

Applets have nothing to do with it. I say spend a few hours and learn the layouts, if it's too much for you, use NullLayout or try to keep it simple.

Read the Swing Tutorial so you understand GUI's better. Your questions really aren't valid questions. Programmers need to learn as much about Swing GUI components as necessary. Some will have to learn more than others. Just depends on what you're doing.
